About the job
Every item AKFAL supplies is accepted or rejected by the client's QA department on two things: does the item match the specification, and does the paperwork prove it. The material receiving inspector makes sure both are true before the goods leave AKFAL. They check dimensions, markings, ratings and material grade against the PO and the data sheet, verify heat numbers against the mill certificates, witness third-party inspection when the client requires it, and assemble the documentation package that travels with the consignment.
This job sits in the Industrial Trading — Supply division.

- Inspect incoming pipe, fittings, flanges, valves, instruments and electrical items against PO, data sheet and standard
- Verify markings and heat numbers against MTC (EN 10204 3.1), certificates of conformity and test reports
- Perform dimensional and visual checks with calibrated instruments; record results on inspection reports
- Coordinate third-party inspection and client witness points; raise non-conformance reports
- Compile the final documentation package for each delivery

- 3+ years in receiving or material inspection of piping, valves or electrical items for oil, gas or petrochemical projects
